Kessil 350 or 350w

th3condor · 02/23/2013, 11:37 PM

Hey all! I'm new to this community and fairly new to the hobby, so please excuse my ignorance if any of it happens to show through :P

I am hopefully going to be purchasing a kessil 350(w?) light for my 29 gallon tank, 30 lenth, 18.5 depth, 12.5 width so I can grow more than just the LPS i currently have. However, I'm not sure whether I should go with the 350 or 350 wide.

I will be using the gooseneck attachment so, it will be about 8 inches off of the top (also going to remove my current glass lid, getting sick of that thing anyway)

So, what do you guys think? 350 or 350w?

Thanks!

Its probably going to be the wide one. The focused one is very focused like the beam is 2 to 2.5 feet wide three feet away.

That's what I heard, I called the owner of my LFS and he said he is going to be using them on his new 500g display tank, but he is using the non-wide version, he said he is really hoping these things are awesome because he originally was going to be using metal halides which are of course, tried and true, but there isn't really any data on LED's on tanks that big...yet.

So, I am going with the 350w and picking up the gooseneck next week, I'm so excited and my corals are absolutely going to love it!
